Council to consider changes to Landmarks law BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON Daily Press Staff Writer
CITY HALL In what will likely be a short preThanksgiving meeting on Tuesday, City Council will consider reversing changes made to the city’s landmarks law in 2003. The proposed ordinance would, in theory, make it easier to create historic districts
within the city. Historic districts are made up of numerous buildings that may not be historically significant on their own but considered together are deemed worthy of preservation. In 1990, council adopted an ordinance approving the Third Street Neighborhood Historic District. In 2000, they approved designation of the Bay Street Cluster.
Since then, council hasn’t approves a single historic district. And recently, there have been rumblings about changes coming to courtyard apartments on San Vicente Boulevard. “There has been substantial discussion of designating additional districts, including a courtyard district on and near the western end of San Vicente Boulevard,” city officials
Leftover but not forgotten
said in a report to council. “Most recently, with increased development pressures, community members have expressed concerns that if the City does not act to protect its historic resources, including clusters of courtyard apartments, they will be lost.” In 2003, the changes to the Landmark SEE COUNCIL PAGE 8

SMMUSD HDQRTRS The Santa MonicaMalibu Education Foundation is just under a quarter of the way to its $4 million fundraising goal after passing the midpoint of its 17-month campaign. The Vision for Student Success had raised more than $921,000 as of Oct. 30, Ed Foundation officials told the Santa MonicaMalibu Unified School District Board of Education at a recent meeting. The centralized fundraising effort started on Feb. 1 and will end on June 30 of 2015. This year’s campaign is longer than a year because Ed Foundation officials recommended that its start and end dates be aligned with the school year. Last year, the campaign to fund learning programs evenly across the district brought in $3.2 million over 15 months. The Board of Education covered the $800,000 gap, allowing the Ed Foundation to reach its $4 million goal. District officials made clear that this was a one-time contribution. In November 2011, the board designated the Ed Foundation as the sole organization to raise money for personnel and professional development at all schools. The Vision for Student Success grew out of that policy and was enacted this year. The
lavish affair, often with more food on the table than a normal human can consume. For some families, the inevitable leftovers are actually part of the holiday tradition and from sandwiches to succotash, there are leftover recipes to suite any family. According to the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, leftovers can be enjoyed for days after the meal if they are cooked and stored properly. Basic food safety requires that hot foods be kept hot and cold foods be kept cold. The danger zone for food is between 40 and 140 °F so the USDA recommends that food be consumed within two hours of cooking or be refrigerated. When storing the turkey, remove all stuffing from cavity and refrigerate, cut turkey into smaller pieces and refrigerate, refrigerate potatoes, gravy, and vegetables in shallow containers and reheat foods to 165 °F or until hot and steaming. According to the USDA perishable foods should not be left out of the refrigerator for more than two hours. Official guidelines recommend using leftover turkey within three to four days.
